"With our two year winning streak on the line, we have a lot of pride at stake, but no matter what happens on Sunday, the real winners will be the people who will benefit from the cancer research that will be funded from the proceeds of this event," said Dan Sullivan, senior vice president for Human Resources at Qualcomm.
